As an organization, the WSSA is committed to multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship, service, and collegiality.
In April of each year, 900 or more social scientists gather for the Association’s annual conference. At a typical conference, held over three and one-half days, participants organized in some 30 sections and affiliated groups present 900 papers at 300 disciplinary and interdisciplinary panel sessions. For your convenience a list of sections and affiliates is located on our web site at http://wssa.asu.edu.
Some of the larger affiliates include: Association of Borderlands Studies, Canadian Studies, the International Sociological Association, Sociology, Association for Institutional Thought and Women’s Studies.

Please note that some WSSA affiliated organizations also require separate membership.
